STAT 2120 - Introduction to Statistical Analysis
Introduction to the probability and statistical theory underlying the estimation of parameters and testing of statistical hypotheses, including those arising in the context of simple and multiple regression models. Students will use computers and statistical programs to analyze data. Examples and applications are drawn from economics, business, and other fields. Students will not receive credit for both STAT 2120 and ECON 3710. Prerequisite: MATH 1210 or equivalent; co-requisite: Concurrent enrollment in a discussion section of STAT 2120.

STAT 2720 - Introduction to Mathematical Probability and Statistics
An introduction to the mathematical foundations of probability and statistics. Topics include discrete and continuous random variables; discrete, continuous, and joint probability distributions; sampling distributions, point estimation; confidence intervals and hypothesis testing for one and two samples. The software Stata will be incorporated.
Prerequisite: One of MATH 1220, MATH 1320, or APMA 1110.

STAT 3010 - Statistical Computing and Graphics
Introduces statistical computing using S-PLUS. Topics include descriptive statistics for continuous and categorical variables, methods for handling missing data, basics of graphical perception, graphical displays, exploratory data analysis, and the simultaneous display of multiple variables. Students should be experienced with basic text-editing and file manipulation on either a PC or a UNIX system, and with either a programming language (e.g. BASIC) or a spreadsheet program (e.g. MINITAB or EXCEL). Credit earned in this course cannot be applied toward a graduate degree in statistics. Prerequisite: STAT 1100 or 1120 or instructor permission.

STAT 3080 - From Data to Knowledge
Most elementary statistics courses start with a technique & present various surface level examples. This course will use relatively complicated data sets and approach them from multiple angles with elementary statistical techniques. Simulation techniques such as the bootstrap will also be used. Conceptual discussion in lectures is supplemented with hands-on practice in applied data-analysis tasks using R statistical software.
Prerequisite: An introductory statistics course.
